Anna Kashinskaya church

Anna Kashinskaya church is an Orthodox church building located at Bolshoi Sampsonievsky Prospect 53 with distinctive domes, traditional Russian ornamentation, and white stone walls accented with red brick. The structure displays Russian Revival architectural characteristics typical of early 20th-century religious buildings in Saint Petersburg.

Construction began in 1901 under architects S.I. Andreev and A.P. Aplaksin during a period of expanding religious architecture in Saint Petersburg. The project reflected the Orthodox Church's building activities in the growing city of that era.

The church is dedicated to Saint Anna and reflects veneration practices of the Eastern Orthodox tradition through its interior decoration. Services and worship here continue the spiritual customs of the local community.

The church is accessible by public transportation to Bolshoi Sampsonievsky Prospect and welcomes visitors during its operating hours. Appropriate dress is recommended and visitors should respect the ongoing religious services and customs of the active place of worship.

The church bears the name of a convent from the Tver region, reflecting a spiritual connection between distant Orthodox communities in Russia. This naming choice reveals how religious institutions of the era maintained ties across different parts of the empire.
